You'd really only get scorch marks on your car. Since the fuel is only flammable in vapor-form with oxygen, you'd just get a car-sized kerosene lamp (with the burning rag acting as a wick). Then you throw the car at something and watch the fiery explosion.
Clearly you don't want you phono abilities killed when your mp3 playback drains the batteries. And what if I do?
What if I am one hour away from a charger and I want to use the mp3 player on the way there. I have listened to music all day, but not used the phone much and the "mp3-battery" is almost empty. The "phone-battery" has got more than enough juice to provide for both one hour mp3-playback and a couple of calls. Only it can't. It's separate circuits.
You could achieve a artificial limit thorough software anyway (whith a override), so why waste weight and volume with two separate batteries?
How does GPL promote R&D and Inventions? Or do you want everybody to reinvent the wheel?
That's just it! If nobody released source code (for free or for a fee), everybody would have to reinvent the wheel.
Now, they distributed software licensed with the GPL. The "fee" here is you have to give away the source on which the binaries you distributed were built.
Doesn't cell phones already do that? Atleast all the ones I've ever owned did. Well actually 112 but that isn't the point. This would not change anything.

A new spin on the "Tree falling in the forest" enigma, isn't it?:-)
No, more like a new spin on "fair use" (or something). If you walk under the powerline and thus happens to draw current from it without paying, is it then theft?
If he is a handy/hardware geek, give him a multi-tool. A Leatherman Wave perhaps? Just be prepared that he will be wearing it ALL the time. I had mine in my pocket at my cousins wedding. (And had good use for it.) Maybe you can even get it engraved with a nice inscription?
Heh, just what I thought. I usually find myself genuinely surprised when people camplains of "those annoying popups at site x", asking myself "I thought people stopped using those ages ago?".
Oh and I use dictionary.org with keyword "dict" and goggle with keyword "gg". Don't need searchboxes and other bloat. (Just back | forward | menus | location bar)
If we just standardized it a bit, I guess it would be fairly easy to read when used to it. You don't spell yourself all the way through every word anyway.Do you find it hard to read "it's" "don't" and other abbrevations? Of course you don't. You are used to them and see them as words, not letters.
You shouldn't "compress" too hard though, you don't want to limit the number of unique words too much.

Oh no, it wastes time all right. But it saves daylight! Presumably for a rainy day.
Why don't you keep your rotten seafood, I keep my Thinkpad and everyone will be happy?

How many times have you had an ATM misprint your receipt? The same company makes those, you know./p>
None. It's always out of paper.

Only if you also have a password people can guess 100% of the time.
No, not really.
They don't really care if your laptop dies or not - so long as you don't blame them for it.
No, but you may borrow a plate, fork, knife and glass for FREE if you buy lunch! Isn't it a great offer? FREE! Come to Kenya, we've got lions!
Uhuh, OK whatever you say. We know others as we know ourselves...
Yeah, who wouldn't pay to be awarded the "FUD Spreader of the Year Award"?
You mean Col. Panic? Trust me, you wouldn't want anything to do with him.
Or do you perhaps mean Col. TwoPointSix? He's a nice guy. I'll introduce you to him if you'll like.

I know. The problem is defining theft.
Or is it only large corporations which deserve to be stolen from?
Yes?

It is more or less the same as plugging in a transformer on the powerline to power the lights.
The question is where we draw the line of theft.
eh on my copy of firefox it is the standard Qute throbber?
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8
um... isn't that like $699? Or is Darl giving discount on the discounts for valentins day?
YES! Engrave a Leatherman Wave with this and we have a Winner!
